It was for Share's benefit, actually, not yours, Bhairitu. She's been very confused about the whole polling issue, thinking Obama would need to take a poll to determine whether Americans would be more outraged by Assad shelling apartment houses, or bombing suburbs with poison gas. You don't have a lot of experience dealing with her thinking processes, but they're just incredibly convoluted. Her misunderstanding that I was addressing is several layers deep. I didn't want her adding yet another layer by thinking that the poll you mentioned had anything to do with her hypothetical poll either way. So relax. It wasn't *about* you, at least not until you, not having followed my exchange with her, accused *me* of being confused because you and she were both talking about polls, which is pretty hilarious under the circumstances (unlike the situation in Syria, which is God-awful, and the situation in Washington, which is also God-awful in a different way). > > This is not, you should pardon the expression, rocket science. > > It's basic reading comprehension. > > > > > BTW, there were other polls taken which also showed that > > > Americans by far do not support intervention in Syria.
